Hello, my dears!

I’m just finishing up a year of reaching goals and dead­lines. It’s pretty wonderful to realize that I’ve written 500 arti­cles this year and learned so much about what I believe about weddings. Look for things to change up a little bit around here.

Wanted to remind you that one of the impor­tant things about your rush to the wedding is to stop and take stock occa­sion­ally. Where are you? Are you keeping your budget? Have you started work on your cere­mony? What are you going to do with your hair? Do you have shoes yet?

But you also want to stop and cele­brate. Make a list of every­thing you’ve accom­plished. Raise your glasses. Go on a date! Then go back to work fueled by the knowl­edge that you’re a couple that gets things done!

Tip: Keep checking in on your progress. Not just to see if you’re moving along smartly toward your appointed goals, but also to cele­brate the progress you’re making. You’re in love. It’s grand. And now you’re getting married!

I’m over here believing in you and in your love! Ann
